My Clone From Leaf Experiment

Well I decided to start a new thread for this rather than clutter up Woomeisters already really long thread on this topic
https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/60994-cloning-fan-leaves.html

I'm not sure if I've done it right, so hopefully Woo will chime in and correct me.

Here's my details for the pics.

#1 - Got my fresh picked leaves (Northern Lights and American Dream), cloning gel (Rootech), some fresh sealed scalpel blades and a tray of medium (Fox Farm blue bag soil).

#2 - One of the leaves of American Dream close up (nice red/purple veins eh?)

#3 -Getting ready to cut the vein with gel on the blade - I cut through the main vein (trying to take a little wedge out on a couple of them), a couple of them I ended up cutting right through the leaf. Eeek!

#4, 5 & 6 - various shots of the cuts with gel

#7 - the leaves in the medium. - The leaf on the left is American Dream and the one on the right is Northern Lights.

They have then been placed in my humidity chamber in the cab.

Is this the correct way?
Do you think it's gonna work?

This is crazy. I've been following this whole fan leaf cloning and if this is possible this will be a great breakthru.

LOL..........that other guy is out of his mind, and full of BS if you ask me, but glad you are trying it. He keeps talking about it, but no proof! LOL. I think you will maybe get a leave with roots, at best! If there was a breakthrough to be had, someone would of had it long ago! Good luck though!

There are plants out there that are more than capable of doing this type of Fragmentation, although I'm interested to see if ganja is one of them!
Thank you for doing what Woo refuses to do and actually show us all pictures.
I will follow this as well just for kicks

Duece.

Breakthrus are always waiting to be made that's why this strikes my intrest. I'm doubtful though. Well see and stay tuned.

Well you know what they say... "Tell someone something can't be done, and they/(mankind) will find a way to do it".

It'd be cool if this works, but I'm not betting any money on it yet.

BTW, does anyone know how to change the title of a thread, that spelling mistake is just pissing me off.

I didn't read the other thread, but my question would be what will grow if there is no meristem?

HTH

No meristem? Then I guess an unhappy stem?

I've been following the other thread and I'm interested to see what happens...

Also,
Don't shit all over this thread like the other one. If you have some sort of need to be a jerk or make a comment like "That's never gunna work" please just don't say anything. Maybe it will maybe it won't.

Thanks for testing this theory milfweed

sounds crazy but at least your calling it an "EXPERIMENT"
i was wondering also what about a stem w/ no nodes on it it would root but will it grow branches?

I think this could work and you could potentially get f shoots per leaf. When my plants get big enough i am going to try both methods and see which one i like better. My plants are still to young to cut from.
i will be watching this thread so thanks for trying it and posting pics.

Thank you, this thread is so much better that woo's
I'd like to try with one of the fan leaves.
Keep us posted.

Send me Ä leaf somebody i preffer some purple

p

Just kidding

Does the leaf have to be laying flat on the soil, or could you coat the stem and
insert the stem in to the dirt???

Thanks for trying this experiment finally. +Rep for initiative.

Outstanding of you to give this technique a whirl! Wanting to try myself after reading the original post but don't have any fan leaves big enough yet so will have to live vicariously through you! Will stay tuned for updates!

+rep for the great pics. i cant wait to see the outcome

This won't work, I have leaves laying in my pots for weeks and nothing happens but rotting

I think you need to have some heat source to make it do something. either that or start studying tissue culture and it's methods

you didnt cut up the veins and put rooting hormone on the plant though... or did you? idk... lol

yeah I guess a little rooting hormone might help... but i dont see what a few vitamins is really gonna do to force rooting from a source that doesn't have genetic instructions to form roots.... lol
